Ship of Fools - #WorldParty

#Lyrics :

We're setting sail
To the place on the map
From which no one has ever returned

Drawn by the promise of the joker and the fool
By the light of the crosses that burn
Drawn by the promise of the women and the lace
And the gold and the cotton and pearls
It's the place where they keep all the darkness you need
You sail away from the light of the world
On this trip, baby

You will pay tomorrow
You're gonna pay tomorrow, yeah
You will pay tomorrow

Save me (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Save me from tomorrow (ooh-ooh-ooh)
I don't want to sail with this ship of fools, no, no-no (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Oh, oh-oh, save me (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Save me from tomorrow (ooh-ooh-ooh)
I don't want to sail with this ship of fools, no, no-no (ooh-ooh-ooh)

I want to run and hide
Right now
Avarice and greed
Are gonna drive you over the endless sea
They will leave you drifting in the shallows
Drowning in the oceans of history

Travelling the world, you're in search of no good
But I'm sure you'll build your Sodom, like you knew you would
Using all the good people for your galley slaves
As your little boat struggles through the warning waves

But you don't pay
You will pay tomorrow
You're gonna pay tomorrow, yeah
You gonna pay tomorrow

Save me (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Save me from tomorrow (ooh-ooh-ooh)
I don't want to sail with this ship of fools, no, no, no-no (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Oh, save me (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Save me from tomorrow (ooh-ooh-ooh)
I don't want to sail with this ship of fools, no, no, no-no (ooh-ooh-ooh)

Where's it coming from?
Or where's it going to?
It's just a
It's just a ship of fools

Yeah, yeah
Through all of it
(Yay!)

#NowPlaying [ Hippychick -> Soho - Got no flowers for your gun. ]

#Soho - Hippychick
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NJOxplMeNiI

#Lyrics :

It's hard to tell you how I feel without hurting you
So try to think about yourself the way that I see you
You're life revolves around the force of oppression
And I won't deal with the true blue devils of correction
Got no flowers for your gun
No hippychick
Won't make love to change your mind
No hippychick
No hippychick
No, hip hip hip hip hip
Today, we'll sit here drinking coffee in your incident room
Tonight, you'll close the door and lock me in that bare bulb gloom
Love, it ain't something riding on a motorbike
And love, I stopped loving you since the miners' strike
Got no flowers for your gun.

Originally released in 1990 then re-released in the UK in 1991. This was a hit in the USA first, although the instrumental version was a Balearic hit through the summer of 1990 and topped the dance charts.

#Lyrics :

If Jesus Christ came back today
Like you threaten he will
Which poor group of people
Do you think that he would kill
Who would Jesus choose to starve
If you gave him the chance
And if there was a genocide
Would he take a neutral stance
Who would Jesus Bomb
Tell me, who would Jesus Bomb
Would it be kids in Palestine
Or how 'bout Vietnam
Would Jesus bomb the Atheists
The Muslims or the Jews
I want you to ask yourself
"What would Jesus do"
Would he say "it's complicated
There's sinners on all sides"
Or would he say that some people
They just deserve to die
If Christ the Savior rose again
Then on a sidewalk slept
Would you extend a hand to him
Or just watch where you stepped

Who would Jesus Bomb
Tell me, who would Jesus Bomb
Would it be kids in Palestine
Or how 'bout Vietnam
Would Jesus bomb the Atheists
The Muslims or the Jews
I want you to ask yourself
"What would Jesus do"
Would Jesus hate the Gay folks,
The Queer folks or the Trans
Would he suggest they end their lives
According to God's plans
Would Jesus tell the homeless man
To get a f*cking job
Or turn his back on the poor
Would Jesus be a snob
Who would Jesus Bomb
Tell me, who would Jesus Bomb
Would it be kids in Palestine
Or how 'bout Vietnam
Would Jesus bomb the Atheists
The Muslims or the Jews
I want you to ask yourself
"What would Jesus do"

Would Jesus Vote Republican
Or would it be democrat
Would he be chanting 4 more years
Or wear a MAGA hat
Would Jesus run for president
Or dictator or worse
Would Jesus be the pastor
Of his own mega church
Who would Jesus Bomb
Tell me, who would Jesus Bomb
Would it be kids in Palestine
Or how 'bout Vietnam
Would Jesus bomb the Atheists
The Muslims or the Jews
I want you to ask yourself
"What would Jesus do"
Would Jesus build a border wall
Would Jesus drive a tank
Would Jesus own an arsenal
Would Jesus run a bank
Would Jesus feel safe in his skin
If he came to your town
Would you believe in Jesus still
If Jesus Christ was brown
Who would Jesus Bomb
Tell me, who would Jesus Bomb
Would it be kids in Palestine
Or how 'bout Vietnam
Would Jesus bomb the Atheists
The Muslims or the Jews
I want you to ask yourself
"What would Jesus do"
I want you to ask yourself
"What would Jesus do"
I want you to ask yourself
"What would Jesus do"

Folk group #MitchellTrio, after Chad was replaced by #JohnDenver - sang the #PhilOchs #satire "Draft Dodger Rag" in 1968. This is one of the rare occasions where the Denver-led trio sang a song released by the original #ChadMitchellTrio.

The Chad Mitchell Trio released the song in 1964, one year before Phil Ochs put it on his own album. When the trio recorded the song, in addition to the original song that Ochs wrote, they also included a hilarious narrative intro to the song, as can be heard on their album, The Slightly Irreverent Mitchell Trio:

We've licked pneumonia and TB and the plagues that used to mock us.
We've got the onus on the sun; the smallpox cannot pock us.
We've found the antibodies for the staphylostreptococcus.
But ahh, the universal curse, from Vietnam to Korea,
The bug of bugs that bugs us still and begs for panacea.
Oh, who will find the antidote for - pentagonorrhea?

The above intro was written by master lyricist Yip Harburg, who wrote lyrics for songs like "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?"

One of my longtime oldies faves - #AntiRacism #AntiWhiteSupremacy #song👍Mocking the KKK.

#Lyrics 👇

Is there a klavern in your town? (In your town)
If not, then why not have us down? (Have us down)

You'll never recognize us, there's a smile upon our face
We're changin' all our dirty sheets and a cleanin' up the place
Yep, since we got a lawyer and a public relations man
We're your friendly, liberal, neighborhood Ku Klux Klan

Yes, we're your friendly, liberal, neighborhood Ku Klux Klan
Ever since we got that lawyer and that public relations man
'Cause we did shoot one reporter, but he was just obscene
And you can't call us no filthy names - What does Anglo-Saxon mean?

Allemande left, allemande right, the Ladies' Auxiliary is meetin' tonight
'Cause the Klan's collected so much cash that now, by gum, we're rich white trash!

Now, we've heard it said our leadership's not qualified to lead
Well I'm tellin' you that just ain't true - Why three of them can read
Take our Grand Exalted Dragon, now some folks think he's bad
Well, you should meet his sweet old mother, and her brother, who's his dad

Yes, they're your friendly, liberal, neighborhood Ku Klux Klan
And he's gonna run for governor soon as he's out of the can
We're all from fine old families, the pride of all these hills
Yes, seven generations at the same old illegal stills

Had a little rally the other night, shot up town in a fury
Luke's arrested, Pa's on trial, and the rest of us are on the jury

Now, we've heard them call us deadbeats, and we'd like to say we're not
We'll all stand on our record, and that's one thing we've all got
And we only have that arsenal so that you won't raise no fuss

And if you don't like that, then call the cops, 'cause the chances are, they're us

Yes we're your friendly, liberal, neighborhood Ku Klux Klan
But somehow we went from the fire to the fryin' pan
We never learned to hold a job, and we never learned to write
But boy, we sure have learned the ropes, 'cause we use them every night

Now, when Congress calls you, don't get stuck, just start confessin' and pass the buck
The Kludd blames the Klaxon, the Klaxon blames the Kleagle, the Kleagle blames the Grand Imperial Eagle
The Eagle blames the Wizard, the Wizard blames the Dragon, the Dragon takes the blame, but he's just braggin'

Now, we're out to show the Congress that we're all so nice and meek
Why we never even take the Fifth, 'cause we drank that all last week
And you'll never hear us shootin' or hangin' people high
'Cause we're learnin' to respect the law and to have an alibi

Oh, come, come, come, come
Come to the church in the wildwood
Come to the church in the vale

And, those dirty, lyin' witnesses, Lord, forgive them what they speak
We would go to church and pray for them... 'cept we blew it up last week

Yes, we're your friendly, liberal, neighborhood Ku Klux Klan
And we sure do thank that lawyer and that public relations man
So we're sorry that we hung them, but they did have quite a tan
And it sure confused your friendly, liberal, misunderstood

Your friendly neighborhood Klan who says,
"What's wrong with a hood?"
Your friendly, liberal, neighborhood Ku Klux
Grab your Cadillac and head for the hills.

One of my longtime oldies faves - #AntiRacism #AntiWhiteSupremacy #song👍Mocking the KKK.

#Lyrics 👇

Is there a klavern in your town? (In your town)
If not, then why not have us down? (Have us down)

You'll never recognize us, there's a smile upon our face
We're changin' all our dirty sheets and a cleanin' up the place
Yep, since we got a lawyer and a public relations man
We're your friendly, liberal, neighborhood Ku Klux Klan

Yes, we're your friendly, liberal, neighborhood Ku Klux Klan
Ever since we got that lawyer and that public relations man
'Cause we did shoot one reporter, but he was just obscene
And you can't call us no filthy names - What does Anglo-Saxon mean?

Allemande left, allemande right, the Ladies' Auxiliary is meetin' tonight
'Cause the Klan's collected so much cash that now, by gum, we're rich white trash!

Now, we've heard it said our leadership's not qualified to lead
Well I'm tellin' you that just ain't true - Why three of them can read
Take our Grand Exalted Dragon, now some folks think he's bad
Well, you should meet his sweet old mother, and her brother, who's his dad

Yes, they're your friendly, liberal, neighborhood Ku Klux Klan
And he's gonna run for governor soon as he's out of the can
We're all from fine old families, the pride of all these hills
Yes, seven generations at the same old illegal stills

Had a little rally the other night, shot up town in a fury
Luke's arrested, Pa's on trial, and the rest of us are on the jury

Now, we've heard them call us deadbeats, and we'd like to say we're not
We'll all stand on our record, and that's one thing we've all got
And we only have that arsenal so that you won't raise no fuss

And if you don't like that, then call the cops, 'cause the chances are, they're us

Yes we're your friendly, liberal, neighborhood Ku Klux Klan
But somehow we went from the fire to the fryin' pan
We never learned to hold a job, and we never learned to write
But boy, we sure have learned the ropes, 'cause we use them every night

Now, when Congress calls you, don't get stuck, just start confessin' and pass the buck
The Kludd blames the Klaxon, the Klaxon blames the Kleagle, the Kleagle blames the Grand Imperial Eagle
The Eagle blames the Wizard, the Wizard blames the Dragon, the Dragon takes the blame, but he's just braggin'

Now, we're out to show the Congress that we're all so nice and meek
Why we never even take the Fifth, 'cause we drank that all last week
And you'll never hear us shootin' or hangin' people high
'Cause we're learnin' to respect the law and to have an alibi

Oh, come, come, come, come
Come to the church in the wildwood
Come to the church in the vale

And, those dirty, lyin' witnesses, Lord, forgive them what they speak
We would go to church and pray for them... 'cept we blew it up last week

Yes, we're your friendly, liberal, neighborhood Ku Klux Klan
And we sure do thank that lawyer and that public relations man
So we're sorry that we hung them, but they did have quite a tan
And it sure confused your friendly, liberal, misunderstood

Your friendly neighborhood Klan who says,
"What's wrong with a hood?"
Your friendly, liberal, neighborhood Ku Klux
Grab your Cadillac and head for the hills.

#BadBrains - Big Take Over (Live 1982)
Live At #CBGB DVD.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5NAPYIMMbWQ&pp=0gcJCR4Bo7VqN5tD

#Lyrics 👇
No one dared to show for that shower
When nobody turned to be clean
Was not even touched by the water
Just another Nazi scheme
The Big Takeover
All throughout this so called nation
Prepare yourself for the final quest
Your world is doomed with your own integration Just another Nazi test
The Big Takeover
So understand me when I say
There's no hope for the USA
Your world is doomed with our own integration Just another Nazi test

This is one of my faves from the 80s 🤘

#Protest and #Survive is a classic Discharge song, from Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing (1982).
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uaYZ4QieIME

In my personal opinion - this song was severely under-recognized because it was deemed - not radio friendly. So we got soft, weakass, commercial metal & had to hunt for better metal that wasn't played to mass audience ears. It's fucking better than weakass commercialized metal 👊

will.i.am + Taboo - East LA - Official #MusicVideo

" We are Los Angeles. We are Angelenos. We are Americans. Some of us born here, some of us migrated here. We are a great country and our borders should be protected. You would think that the idea of border control would make residents feel safe - but it's pumped fear into our communities.

They're going after people that make our city beautiful. People who put food in our supermarkets, take care of other people's kids, work two to three jobs so they can take care of their families. It breaks my heart.

I wanted to make this video to change the vibe and celebrate the folks that make our cities great. The very same people who are being disregarded, dehumanized, and demoralized.

Thank you for your contributions. Thank you for your work. We will get through this.

Up there in Fairy Creek they are fighting for the ancient forest from high in the trees on platforms rigged of rope and wood the chainsaws from Mulo just could send them falling
Brave protectors of the Fairy Creek blockade, this song's for you.

I believe in the good things coming
I believe in the love that lives on this earth Of Brazilian bodies
I am here to receive, I am here to give
Stay brave, protectors of the Fairy Creek blockade
A hundred elders marched the dawn up a hill to stand upon a holy grove of trees
Older than the Notre Dame
Past picket lines and ATVs they sang for the land they wished to leave home for their children's children
Singing I believe in the good things coming
I believe in the love that lives on this earth the Brazilian bodies
I am here to receive I am here to hear
Stay brave, protectors of Fairy Creek
There's a war been going on through the soul of the world since the break of dawn, how do we share this land we stand upon?

I am a newborn to this place
Though I've lived here all my life
My ancestors came across the sea to stand for what they thought was right they broke trust treaties too can't unright the past is true
But I'm here to understand and stand with you Singing I believe in the good things
I believe in the love that lives on this earth of resilient bodies
I am here to receive, I am here to give
Stay brave, protectors of the Fairy Creek blockade
My whole story is in my heart
Gentle as they fall apart the land remembers more than I ever will
Still I'm here to witness this
Brave ones high up in the trees the sweetness of your farewell kiss the gentle of the morning breeze what stories will they tell of me
One day soon that's all will be
Amid a distant memory what stories will they tell?

And today we sing
I believe in the good things
I believe in the love that lives on this earth of Brazil.

Cop Killer - #BodyCount

https://youtu.be/yg_S4JJMxPU?si=mpviAV4Om_G7yHwg

Fab live coverage from 1992.

When talking about #controversial #music, there are few more shining examples than #CopKiller. Recorded by #IceT’s rock group Body Count, “Cop Killer” is a heated #song about a victim of #PoliceBrutality who violently takes matters into his own hands. The song faced criticism from #LawEnforcement agencies, the Parents Music Resource Center #PMRC, President #GeorgeHWBush and the public in general. Some people responded through #protests and #boycotts of any company associated with the distribution of the record. This caused sales to skyrocket, but also prompted certain stores to take the album off their shelves. Some countries, such as #NewZealand, attempted to have the song and the #rap group itself completely #banned. Stockholders threatened to pull out from #WarnerBrosRecords and executives received #DeathThreats. While Ice-T stood by his work, stating that it was a #ProtestSong meant to reflect hateful emotions rather than encourage violence, he subsequently decided to recall the album, removing the trouble-making song upon re-release.

While Ice-T stood by his work, stating that it was a #ProtestSong meant to reflect hateful emotions rather than encourage violence, he subsequently decided to recall the album, removing the trouble-making song upon re-release.

Take the Power Back - #RATM

After #ChollaHighMagnetSchool teachers used this song in a #MexicanAmerican history class, Superintendent John Huppenthal issued a “notice of noncompliance” to the #Tucson Unified School District. So in January 2015, over 20 years after the song was released, #RageAgainstTheMachine’s #lyrics–along with #KRSOne’s #HipHop teachings– were deemed to be against #Arizona state law, which states that schools cannot “advocate ethnic solidarity instead of the treatment of pupils as individuals.”

I got arrested by VanPD for protesting their inaction on missing Indigenous sex workers in the 90s, in downtown East Vancouver. I cranked up this song, while charging myself into VanPD offices. My supporters played song when I was released from illegal detainment, after ✊️❤️🦅

911 has been not only a longtime bad joke on us #BIPOC folks but also frequently used as a fuxking weapon on us more times than not.
You don't fuxking call 911 on anyone you don't want cops to sic. Especially BIPOC folks.

#Europeans appreciated #Redbone a lot more than most Americans. The #USgovt #banned this #song from radio & TV airplays.
They sang about the #Indigenous #genocide by #USA ✊️❤️
